A lot of stuff has been gpoing on, and unfortunately the Z had to take a back seat Ive been gone from here for a bout a year and in that time ive had a baby, bought a home, got a better job, etc... now its come time again to mess with the rust infested Z I am trying to get it out of the climate controlled storage its been in for about a year but the back braked seem to have got stuck once again and I cannot remember what ?i did last time to loosen them. If anyone has a better, more technical idea as to how to get these back brakes unstuck please do post it here. Thanks! -este

hell mine is in storage right now...waiting for the spring sumer to kick in so that I can start doing someof the work on it.

27 as of last month. 1st time owner too, always liked the cars but never got around to buy one. until last month my car is in progress and will not be seeing the street/or track for a loong time. rust is not good

he he went o the local nissan dealer and the parts gave this deer in the headlights look ha ha. Looks like Ill be hitting up a lot of used book sotres around town before I go ahead and buy the manuals online.

hm... My Z has an alpine Deck which sounds kind of nice except for the crappy wiring job they did... it seems that they used one of those niftyb radio install kit, but overall it looks like a crappy hack job.

edited because I dont know the policies on posting any business info and I dont want to get in trouble. Carl: I'll sent you an email.

Can i still get a factory service manual from Nissan? and what about the prices? I dont want a ghetto copy, i have had many for several of my hondas and the text sucks! manily because hey are photocopied versions and what not.

Ding sing sing its the booster. I forgot to mention that my idle is affected everytime the brakes are pressed. Well im hoping it doenst rain today since Im stripping the intrior trying to find the rust...

oh yeah... Hoouston, Texas. the car was in someone's backyard in Bellville Texas between Austin and Houston. The fog lights are huge but they are pointed up because of the flat bed that got the car home. ::

Thanks for the input. there is a guy here in town that has about 20-30 70-73 Z's in his back yard. he offered to get me a rust free shell for 600.00 so I may just take him up on it. only time will tell. thanks for the answers and sorry to be pestering with questons!

how hard is that learning to weld? This has crossed my mind

thanks for the hint

storage facility I have not a arage but a storage place where lots of people keep/work on their cars. Tools Im just now gathering them, I have the basics. experience: not much but I have lots of time (3-4 days a week free) I tried getting to meet people in my area but most groups pf people are clubs, and im not into all that, and what other few groups of people are there are all abnout the newer cars which are not to my liking.

I have a 73 240Z and Im trying to see how certain parts get taken out, especially the fenders and things like that. I bought a haynes manual but it doesnt show any diagrams blow out(exploded) panels with the diagrams and what not that can tell me how to take certain things off. Can some one point me in the right direction? thanks

I have posted a few questions so far and I like the place as far as getting true and reliable information!! much better than otehr forums I have been to... anyway. I am needing to know what would be the best place to estart the restoration on my car! it is a 1973Z here is a pic: nice eh?...well its starting to not sound so nice ha ha If you search on my other threads there are some serious rust issues! my sway bar is completely loose on the passenger side as it as rotted off bracket from the frame rail.. (frame rail kit here I go) As it stands the car will need heavy restoration, that much I know, I can only be glad this will not be mny daily driver! Im wanting to know whewre should i start my project!! For one the rust seems like it should be my priority the engine runs good once it starts in the morning it fires up right away everytime so far. The brakes need some work, I replacedthe master cylinder but the booster may also need to be replaced. Plus the interior is kinda bad Im waiting for a squirrely to pop out on my everytime I get in the car (it wouldnt surprise me) so my question is where do I start!! I have worked with hondas but never on anything that needed to be restored, so any help would be appreciated! BTW: here are my picture thread in case you need to see the pics! http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16006 thanks in advance! Esteban
